Question

Ben Spender writes a $50 check which is returned by his bank with additional charges. The company he wrote the check to, Art Supply Inc., also charges $20 for returned checks, which of the following represents the amount Ben must have to balance his debts.

Answer 1

More than 70 because i just got done doing this and making sure that was the correct one

Answer 2

Answer:

More than $ 70

Explanation:

Given,

The amount of check which is returned by the bank = $ 50,

So, his balance would be -$ 50,

Also, the company he wrote the check to also charges $20 for returned checks,

So, his balance after charged by the company = -(50 + 20) = -$ 70,

Again there is additional charges imposed by the bank,

Thus, he needs more than $ 70 to balance his debts.
